Dear Shannon Houck:
On July 10, 2024, a site inspection was conducted for the Stevenson-Weir/Southern - Salisbury facility
located at 235 Peeler Road, Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina. A copy of the Compliance Inspection
Report is enclosed for your review. The site visit and file review revealed that the subject facility is covered
by NPDES Stormwater General Permit NCG140000 under Certificate of Coverage NCG140273. Permit
coverage authorizes the discharge of stormwater from the facility to receiving waters designated as Town
Creek, class C waters in the Yadkin Pee-Dee River Basin.
As a result of the inspection, the facility was found to be noncompliant with the conditions of the NCG140000
permit. Please refer to the enclosed Compliance Inspection Report for additional comments and observations
made during the inspection.
Please be advised that violations of the NPDES Stormwater General Permit are subject to a civil
penalty assessment of up to $25,000 per day for each violation. If you or your staff have any questions,
comments, or needs assistance with understanding any aspect of your permit, please contact me at
(704) 235-2100 or via e-mail atjerry.eplin@deq.nc.gov.
Sincerely,
